Lyrics
[verse]
They counted me out, said my time had passed
Called me yesterday's news, said I wouldn't last
But mama raised a fighter, taught me never quit
Every time I stumble I get back up from it
Doubters in the crowd but I don't hear a sound
Focused on the moment, feet planted on the ground
Every setback taught me something I can use
Now I'm back and stronger, now I got nothing left to lose
[chorus]
Mama said get up, mama said don't stop
Mama said keep fighting till you reach the top
They wrote me off but I ain't finished yet
Watch me climb right back, watch me place my bet
[verse]
Silence in the room now, everybody watching close
Been here before, this the moment I know most
Sweat and work and hours nobody ever saw
Now it's showtime, now I'm following the law
The law of never breaking, the law of standing tall
Every single time they knock me, watch me rise from every fall
This ain't about the anger, this about the will
Mama's voice inside my head, telling me be still
[chorus]
Mama said get up, mama said don't stop
Mama said keep fighting till you reach the top
They wrote me off but I ain't finished yet
Watch me climb right back, watch me place my bet
[bridge]
Round after round, I keep coming back
Every single hit just adds to the attack
This the comeback story, this the one they'll tell
Knocked down seven times, stood up eight as well
[chorus]
Mama said get up, mama said don't stop
Mama said keep fighting till you reach the top
They wrote me off but I ain't finished yet
Watch me climb right back, watch me place my bet
